On August 30, the University of Mumbai (MU) published the third merit list on its official website mu.ac.in as well as the official websites of the individual colleges. While the first merit list had a 100 percent pass rate and the second had a 90 percent pass rate, the third merit list had a 60 to 80 percent pass rate, therefore students with scores below 80 percent were included in this round of admissions.

From September 1 to September 4, document verification and fee payment for the third merit list will take place. If seats in any of the colleges remain after the third list, a fourth list will be announced.
The cut-off scores for the first two merit lists were around 90-100 percent this year due to the significant percentages of students achieving above 95 percent. Because most states and central boards, as well as Maharashtra, cancelled board exams due to the pandemic, the results were calculated using a different formula, and all students were marked as passing, increasing competition for each seat.
This year, a total of 3,35,000 students registered for admission, down from 6.50 lakh in 2020, 7.80 lakh in 2019, and 8.60 lakh in 2018.
